After going through this Research Experience for Undergraduates, I didn't quite complete the goals I hoped to accomplish. While I intended to at least complete the Android application, it is still somewhat unfinished. Because of this, and because of my connection now with the team at Marquette, I intend to work with them until the Android application is complete.

Latest revision as of 21:06, 7 August 2020

I am an undergraduate at Valparaiso University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Data Science.

Future

After going through this Research Experience for Undergraduates, I didn't quite complete the goals I hoped to accomplish. While I intended to at least complete the Android application, it is still somewhat unfinished. Because of this, and because of my connection now with the team at Marquette, I intend to work with them until the Android application is complete.
